Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, poppy seeds, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk and vegetable oil until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula just until the flour is moistened; do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Note

For best results, use freshly grated cheddar cheese rather than pre-shredded, as it melts more smoothly into the batter.

These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerated for up to 5 days. They also freeze well for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature or warm in the microwave before serving.

Feel free to experiment with other cheeses like gouda or sharp white cheddar for a different flavor profile.
